MUMBAI, India, July 24 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611065182 A) filed by Aditya Neil Banerjee on May 23, 2026, for Decentralized Robotic Buoy System For Autonomous Aquatic Monitoring Comprising A Modular Bio-Fouling Mitigated Sensing Cartridge And Cooperative Swarm Coordination.
Inventor includes Aditya Neil Banerjee.
The application for the patent was published on July 17, 2026, under issue no. 29/2026.
Abstract: DECENTRALIZED ROBOTIC BUOY SYSTEM FOR AUTONOMOUS AQUATIC MONITORING COMPRISING A MODULAR BIO-FOULING MITIGATED SENSING CARTRIDGE AND COOPERATIVE SWARM COORDINATION The invention discloses a Decentralized Robotic Buoy Network [400] for real-time aquatic environmental mapping. The system comprises autonomous units [100] equipped with Modular Sensing Cartridges [300] that utilize a retractable "dry-dock" mechanism and UV-C/Copper sterilization to eliminate bio-fouling. Each unit utilizes TinyML for edge-level anomaly detection and energy-neutral power gating. The units are coordinated via a Gossip Protocol and Leader Election Algorithm, enabling the fleet to physically cluster around pollution events and optimize data transmission. This integration of modular mechanical preservation, edge intelligence, and swarm coordination provides a persistent, "drop-and-forget" solution for large-scale water quality monitoring.
